In my classroom, you will see students working with professional-grade products, focusing on real-world techniques like color correction and airbrushing, rather than just reading from a book. My philosophy at the academy is simple. You learn by doing. Whether you are a housewife looking for a new career path, a student, or a working beautician wanting to upskill, my sessions are designed to get you industry-ready without the fluff. We focus on the tools and techniques that actually matter for a professional setup. Students in our Kharghar academy spend their time on live models, learning how to handle different skin types, how to mix shades for HD coverage, and how to execute specific bridal looks like the Peshwai or modern glam. You will see us working with airbrush equipment, setting up professional lighting for portfolios, and perfecting everything from nail art extensions to hair cutting. This is not a lecture-heavy course. You get hands-on experience, guidance on how to build your kit, and advice on how to start your own freelance business. If you are ready to stop watching and start doing, this is where you build your foundation. ## About Kalpana Todekar I am Kalpana Todekar, and I started this academy because I wanted to turn passion into a real skill.
